If you're using article marketing to drive traffic to your sites and get those quality backlinks for SEO, then the upgrades to what I think is the best article submission software should be of interest to you.
The software I'm referring to is Jason Potash's Article Announcer which just got upgraded to version 3.0.
For a detailed review of this product, go here.
There are 2 major components of the upgrade.
The first is an advanced "Article Submission Report" function that allows you to track all of the articles you have submitted.
The second is one that I find really exciting. It involves a feature called "Article Partner Finder" that allows you to find high ranking websites and blogs for the keywords you are optimizing your articles for.
Here's the exciting part: you can then submit to these high PR sites directly.
Why is this such a great feature?
Find out by watching this very informative video from Jason Potash.
Pay attention to how the "Article Partner Finder" will help you to optimize your article marketing strategy.
The "Article Submission Report" function will log the where, when, and what you have submitted and is a great tool for organization.
If you write and submit a lot of articles, this will definitely make your life easier.
The "Article Partner Finder" will allow you to submit directly to high ranking ezines and blogs. All you have to do is enter a keyword and the software will provide you with the top sites for Google, Yahoo, and MSN for that particular keyword.
It will also provide you with the email address to contact them.
The benefits of "Article Partner Finder" are numerous:
you cut out the "middle man" (the directories) and go straight to the source
often your article can get "lost" among the thousands of articles in a directory
quality versus quantity: it is much more advantageous to have your article posted on a site geared to your niche that also has tons of readers interested in that niche
it allows you to develop a relationship with webmasters and ezine publishers in your niche
these same webmasters and ezine publishers need , love your articles and want you to keep submitting articles to them
the Article Announcer software allows you to send custom emails to these individuals to be professional (and avoid spam)
Perhaps the most important point regarding the "Article Partner Finder", is that nobody is doing this.
Every article marketer focuses on submitting to the directories. This feature provides you with the opportunity to set yourself apart from the crowd, do something different, and create win-win relationships with partners in online marketing.
This fits in with Jason Potash's philosophy regarding Article Announcer. It's all about taking a long-term approach and providing quality content. This will establish your credibility and your marketing results will skyrocket!
